Ethical Hacking:
Wireless Security Assessment

BT Wireless Security Assessment services measure the security of your wireless infrastructure and provide you with a roadmap to ensure the integrity and availability of information and resources. This assessment is complete in three phases. Each phase provides the ethical hacking team with information that is used in the next.

During the first phase, Map and Identify Active Wireless Networks, the ethical hacking team will determine your network's vulnerability to an attacker with radio access to the wireless network space. The ethical hacking team will attempt detect the 802.11 wireless networks in place (including any ad-hoc networks identified), determine the locations and ranges of the wireless networks, evaluate the range of the wireless access area, determine network configuration information, and probe points of entry for identifying system information or access parameters.

In the second phase of the engagement, Assess Wireless Implementation for Vulnerabilities, BT will pose as someone with normal user access and evaluate the security measures taken to secure infrastructure, including the following ESSID, the use and strength of WEP encryption, network segmentation, and access control devices.

During the last phase of the assessment, Exploit Vulnerabilities and Access Other Networks, the team will try to use the previously discovered vulnerabilities to obtain access to other network segments. If the team is successful, they will test different methods to exploit that access. This phase will determine which network segments and systems the wireless network infrastructure can access, the security controls that separate the wireless network from other network segments and if the wireless network can be used as a launching point to attack other systems.

Before the project begins we will work with you to develop boundaries for actions and events that our team can perform during the vulnerability assessment. Any High-Risk vulnerabilities/risks identified during the assessment will be immediately communicated to you. After the testing has been completes, BT will provide your organization with a formal report that:

  • Lists all identified weaknesses and vulnerabilities
  • Explains the risks associate with the current network configuration
  • Presents recommendations to increase the security of your wireless infrastructure
